00:30And the host of a prestigious boat show, I'm Laila Humayra and this is Qatar in Motion.

00:40Did you know that the earliest maps of Doha showed the old port as customs house landing?

00:46Starting operations in the 1930s, the old Doha port was the main gateway of trade for Qatar,

00:52a major lifeline in the country's economic growth.

00:55While the cargo port was retired in 2016, the rejuvenated old Doha port has the perfect recipe for a thriving cruise industry.

01:05In the 2024-2025 season, arrivals jumped 19% with more than 360,000 visitors.

01:13The port is also casting its net beyond Qatar shores to expand its clientele,

01:19participating at the Monaco Yacht Show and signing partnerships with marinas in the UAE and Turkey.

01:26Well, here we are at the second edition of the Qatar Boat Show at the old Doha port.

01:34As you can see, dozens of boats and yachts have docked with some sailing in as far as Europe.

01:39And it's events like these that showcase the port's commitment to navigate modernity,

01:44but staying anchored by tradition.

01:46The yachts have docked, anchors dropped, and the crowd is hooked.

01:51Some are here to enjoy the atmosphere and appreciate the beauty of yachting,

01:55while others are looking to splurge.

01:58Young and old, big spender, all casual enthusiasts, there's something for everyone.

02:05Riding on the success of the first edition of the Qatar Boat Show,

02:08I caught up with the old Doha port CEO, Muhammad Abdullah Al Mullah,

02:12to get his thoughts on the festivities.

02:16Firstly, thank you so much for having us here at the VIP lounge,

02:19at the Qatar Boat Show here at the old Doha port.

02:23The Qatar Boat Show, the second edition this year, it keeps getting bigger and bigger.

02:27What's your take personally on the growth that you've seen

02:31of the Qatar Boat Show since the first edition?

02:33Well, first of all, I would like in return to thank you really for being with us

02:37and supporting us throughout our journey,

02:40way before even starting the Qatar Boat Show first edition.

02:44So thank you very much.

02:46This edition, luckily, has been different, I would say, in a positive way

02:51in terms of the magnitude of the participation,

02:55whether it's local companies, regional or even international.

03:00Today in this edition, what makes it remarkable

03:03that around 505 trademarks showcased by 85 exhibitors from 25 countries.

03:13So this is in itself, I think it's a good and impressive achievement

03:18that we have accomplished during this edition,

03:22which will make, I mean, the show itself more of not only a local show,

03:29but it's more of an international and regional as well.

03:34And we're sitting here with the backdrop of these yachts lined up.

03:38What are some interesting highlights of the Qatar Boat Show this year

03:42that we've never seen before?

03:43One of them we have concentrated more in this edition

03:48to focus more on the spectator, I would say, the visitor experience,

03:54one of which is really having not only to focus more

03:58into people who really would like to see the sea-related activities

04:02or the people who are interested in buying boats or yachts,

04:06but more of a journey itself.

04:08So in this edition, we have accounted for different activities,

04:14F&B outlets, around 21 F&B outlets within the premises of the show,

04:21where we have collaborated with one of our local societies

04:25to come and have the kids do the traditional way of fishing

04:30within the show itself.

04:33What are some of the things that we should look out for

04:37in terms of, from now, the cruise season

04:39and the winter season for Old Harport?

04:41The cruise season will be starting right after the boat show.

04:45We really target our plans to focus more on the international visitors

04:51who are coming on a yearly basis through the cruise ships.

04:56So we try to make sure that they live a special experience.

05:01We have done a project lately within the MENA district,

05:06which includes, which is already having around 50 F&B outlets

05:11and 100 commercial retail,

05:15as well as the residential units and the boutique hotel.

05:19We have implemented and executed a project during the summer

05:23to cool out the outdoor areas

05:26and the main promenade in the MENA district

05:30to make sure that we have the most comfortable experience for our visitors.

05:37It's easy to see why the Qatar Boat Show is a crowd favourite.

05:42Visitors are able to get up close and personal

05:44with some very elegant and sleek yachts.

05:48It's quite a spectacle to behold,

05:50especially when you come face-to-face with this beauty.

05:53I'm aboard one of the biggest yachts brought in this year.

05:57This is Gulfcraft's showpiece, the Nomad 101.

06:01It's one of the newest models in the company's fleet,

06:04boasting a high-tech navigation system,

06:06the finest interior and four floors.

06:09It also comes with a price tag of almost $10 million.

06:14Still, it's expected to be snapped up this year.

06:17Here we have a lofty villa on the water with five staterooms

06:20and the owner's stateroom oversees the water.

06:23So it's on the main deck

06:25and offers you a beautiful 270-degree view of the water.

06:30And the idea is, even though this is a lavish vessel,

06:34the idea is to provide a home away from home.

06:36Putting a spotlight on luxury and design

06:38is one aspect of how the boat show

06:41is keeping up with the international yachting industry,

06:44but so is highlighting innovation and sustainability.

06:48Gulfcraft is continuing to invest in new technologies

06:51and examining the market for either products and materials

06:55that are responding to the ecological need

06:59that today exists with our clients

07:01and also looking to redesign our yachts

07:05to minimize the energy consumption.

07:08And that has additional benefits too

07:10because then you get a longer range,

07:12you get the benefit of staying on board

07:15for an extended period of time.

07:18The Qatar Boat Show also puts a spotlight

07:20on homegrown companies like Halul Boats,

07:23which has been operating in the country

07:25well before the arrival of giant cruises and fancy yachts.

07:29And while competition is inevitable as the country grows,

07:33Qatari firms that have been built on heritage and tradition

07:36feel they'll always have a grasp of local flair.

07:40My name is Ali Ahmed Al-Hatmi.

07:43I'm a chief operator at Halul Boats.

07:46We are a Qatari brand,

07:48one of the first, if not the first,

07:50brand in Qatar of manufacturing boats.

07:53So we are trusted.

07:56We have a contract with the Coast Guard

07:59and the Emirates.

08:00We provide them the boat

08:02and the specification that they want.

08:05Everything that needs fiberglass

08:07or use fiberglass or use fiberglass, we do.

08:10We have boat from 12 feet till 55 feet.

08:15We made a houseboat 60 feet.
